The Payoff (ShudderCon Las Vegas #2)

Ten years ago law student Cali and straight girl Esta shared a night of passion at ShudderCon. A night that ended with both their lives changed irrevocably and with Esta walking away forever.

Fast forward a decade and Cali's comic book designing career has failed to take off. She has a week until she starts a staid desk job and ShudderCon is her final gasp of freedom. The last thing she expects when she arrives is to lock eyes with the one woman responsible for changing her life in an instant.

Esta has spent a decade burying her true self, coming out of the closet only once a year to celebrate ShudderCon. And when she sees the woman that started it all she can't help but want to run again. Her secret life is tearing her apart, but she's too afraid of losing her job, her family, and her friends to come out now. Until an ex-client appears who wants to take that decision out of her hands...

The connection between Cali and Esta is too strong to be denied. But just as Cali's life seems to be coming together at con, Esta's is falling apart. Unless both of them are willing to take a risk so they can both get the payoff.

Once in a lifetime you meet the person capable of changing you forever. No one can hope for a second chance. Or can they?
